These figures exclude information on minor specific grants paid in respect of particular functions or services.

It is not possible to give details of the amounts of external finance to be paid to the district council in 1992–93 and 1993–94 since this will depend on decisions which have yet to be taken on the amount and distribution of public expenditure in those years.
